• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when this was a different club, I headlined this
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: room a couple nights. That was cool. I like, this
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: space is cool.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I like it, yeah. It is a really cool space. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I love the, um, I love the half circle, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I also like the professor style, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, it's fun. It's, uh, because laughter also,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it goes up, so it rises.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah. I, uh, We were talking about Star Wars,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and I always joke that it looks like the Galactic Senate,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: where they have all the aliens and stuff.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was that Phantom Menace?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Phantom Menace, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't seen
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: those movies in forever. Oh, yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: No, same here. It's been a while. You said you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: didn't see the new ones. I've only watched the new
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: ones once, and that's it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I liked the new ones until they... I liked it
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: when they didn't have the old characters in it, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: then once they brought the old characters, I'm like... Yeah,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I thought it was cool to have like a new
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: adventure in the world or whatever.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then, well, the new one just kind of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: like bombed.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I've heard. I haven't seen that one.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. They made like $ 200 million or something
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Like it bombed.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And I was like, are you kidding?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's just like the nerds who are really
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: into Star Wars didn't like that. So that means it bombed,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. But
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going to give it a shot.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And then they hated the other one, Solo. Solo.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They were like, hey, after Solo came out, they were like, okay,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: maybe we're not going to push these out as much. Yeah, right, yeah, yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But now they're ramping it up. And I guess Ryan
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Gosling is going to be in the next one coming out.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's supposed to be doing some other, it's like
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: something about, he's like a pilot or something like that
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I read. I don't remember exactly, but maybe he'll be good.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, the one that just came out with the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Baby Yoda one, have you seen that?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: The Mandalorian, yeah, the one that just came out. You
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: saw it? I haven't seen it yet. I do want
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to see that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't seen it either. I've heard mixed things
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: about that too.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't been in the theater in a minute,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: but that's the crazy thing because that's not even in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the order of what I want to see because everyone's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: been talking about the obsession. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: haven't seen that yet, but I hear it's really good.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I am a coward, so I'm not a big horror guy.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny is I don't like scary movies
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: either because life is already stressful enough.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, exactly.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Why go to a place and get stressed out even more?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, scary movies, roller coasters, I'm cool. I'm good on that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That's funny, roller coasters. Yeah. You know what's funny, too?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, roller coasters are not... When I was
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a kid, it was like, oh, that sounds fun. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: now as an adult, I'm like, I'm good. Yeah, right.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You've experienced it. I've been on a couple. I know
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I don't need to be upside down right now.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Was it made for that?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: No, it's not great. And then I just see, like,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: pictures of people getting stuck on them for, like, hours
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: at a time. I'm like, I'm good, man.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I don't... I've been in traffic this morning. Yeah, right.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I... I know there's only high schoolers
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: running this thing, so I'm good. That's a great point.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right? Yeah. I didn't even think about that. Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: There's fools that haven't even passed the grade yet over
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: there pressing the button.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Fuck out of here.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It's like the same crew that works at McDonald's is
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: working on this giant machine that puts you upside down
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: at 90 miles an hour. I'm straight.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I've ever. You know what's funny
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is you're talking about roller coasters and stuff like that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I went to Disneyland for the first time at like 32,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: way back. Back when I was 32. Because I had
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: never been. And I was like, yeah, let's go do that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Me and my brother were like, all right, we're old enough.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: We can take ourselves. Let's go check it out. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you can drink in there. Yeah, right. All right, cool.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And so we went. And I was like, yeah, man,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: this place sucks. I don't want to do any of
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: this shit.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: There is a surprising number of adults, though, that love it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Hanging out there.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: What I just said right now could get me killed.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. People are filming OnlyFans videos in there and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: stuff like that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: What the fuck you say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: there's a group. I guess it's called 33s or something
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: like that. It's a special group. Where you got to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: pay such amount to get into this club where you get... There's, like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: all these, like, secret things.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I've heard about that. It's, like, a VIP kind of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: thing where, yeah, they get, like, a special, like, lounge
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: or area that is not... Like, and you got to...
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I think you got to pay, like, thousands of dollars
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's expensive, man.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And you're not supposed to talk. It's, like, Fight Club shit.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And I guess, like, I seen a TikTok recently where, like,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this couple... was selling their guest passes for it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And then they were like, hey, you can't do that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And you're also telling secrets, so you're out.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shit.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And now they're trying to sue to get back in. Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: There's other shit. I'm like, that's crazy.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Just to get in a theme park, man. It's crazy, yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Just to go pay $ 35 for a Pepsi. Yeah, right?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I wish I had that kind of money. That
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: would be nice.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: No, that's so funny that you're like, I'm good with
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the scary movies. But I... I want to check it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: out because, like, I guess it was, like, made on
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: such a small budget.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard it's doing really well, yeah.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It's, like, millions and millions and stuff like that.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's, like, the thing now is, like, that Back Rooms
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: movie did the same thing, I think.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Because that's just, like, a YouTube guy that made that. Yeah, he's, like, 19.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: He's a kid. And that, I think it was made
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: relatively cheap, and now it's, like, kicking ass.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Did you ever want to do, because you're in comedy
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and entertainment, is that something that you're inspired to do
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: as an actor or be on screen?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that would be cool. I was in
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a short film here a couple years ago that was
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: in a contest and did well. And I liked that
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a lot. There used to be a bigger acting or
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a bigger film industry here about maybe 10 years ago.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: We used to have all the tax credits and stuff.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Like the Superman Man of Steel movie. A lot of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that was filmed here. But then they took all that away.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: But there's still a pretty good industry here for that
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: kind of thing, like commercial acting and stuff. That would
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: be a lot of fun, yeah, for sure.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Do you have a dream role?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Not really. I mean, as a child it would have
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: been Batman, but I don't think that's happening for me.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I could maybe pull off Wolverine, maybe that.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: What did you think about the latest Batman movie?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I liked it. I thought it was too similar to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the Christopher Nolan Batmans. I would have liked to see
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: a little different.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: More in line with the... Because I like the new
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Superman movie. I like that a lot.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, there was more of a funner take.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, colorful and fun. I thought if you want to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: do something right after... Because the Christopher Nolan Batmans I
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: thought were really good.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I think if you're going to do something... A new...
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: you should do like something completely different than that. And
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a little too similar to that,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: but I still like, I mean, uh, Robert Pattinson, I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: thought was pretty good as Batman. And, uh, it was
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a good, I liked the movie, but yeah, I was just.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Like, I remember as we're talking, I was like, I go,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I just see too many other movies in this movie
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for me. Yeah. Right.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Like, what do you mean? I go, excuse me. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was like, everything that you're saying is cool. I can
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: tell you where it came from. Right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It's great to play homage to something. Like after a while,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it's like, Hey dude.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Right. Like, I guess like how they would get upset at, um, like,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the Simpsons writers would get upset at Family Guy. Like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: all the animators don't like Family Guy because they just,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it's like, dude, you're a 30-minute, or you're a 20-minute cartoon, and, like,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you know, 17 minutes of it is other material from
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: other places you're just animating.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Crazy. But, yeah, no, and then, but, like, so since
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you're in entertainment and comedy and stuff like that, like,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: when did you, when did funny find you, or when
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: did you find funny?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I started about 13 years ago, I guess. Nice. I mean, like, Funny,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: like being funny has always kind of been like important
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: in like my, I knew it was like valued in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: my family and stuff. And I've watched standup since I
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: was a little kid. Uh, I was big into like
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: premium blend on comedy central, uh, tough crowd. That was
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a big show that I really liked. Uh, and then, uh,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I remember, I think it was like, I was about
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to turn 25. Uh, and like my, uh, the year
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that I was going to turn 25, I had a, uh,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: new year's resolution. It's like, before I turn 25, I'm
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: going to try stand-up once. And I tried it, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I was like, all right, this is really cool. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I bombed so bad the first time. I didn't even
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: do good. I remember I got introduced, and they were like,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: this is his first time. Be nice to him. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: then as soon as I grabbed the mic out of
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the stand, I hear in the crowd, boo. Like I
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: didn't even get to say anything.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: And then, but like even that, even like bombing and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: not doing well, I was like, all right, this is
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: pretty cool. I like this a lot.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So what made you that thing? Because it's the same here.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I bombed the first time.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: But what made you like, I got to do that again?
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Because I had the dumb thought that I could just
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: kind of riff up there.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, same here.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Like I was like, I don't have to be, I
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: don't have to write out prepared shit. I could just
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: go up there and.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: God given.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And I did one and I got, like I had
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: one riff that got like a response that I kind
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: of just came up off the top of my head.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I mean, just the reaction of
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the laugh, getting the laugh was like great. And then finally,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I think I took a break for about six months
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: and at one point, but I got, like, a bunch
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: of material actually written out. And then when I came back,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, all right, I have, like, five minutes.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: That is actual jokes that I've prepared. Not, like, me
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: just writing a thing down thinking, oh, I'll just talk
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: about it and I'll figure something out. But, like, yeah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: once I got that first, like, laugh out of, like,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: kind of nothing, I was like, oh, this would be awesome. Plus, like,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the idea of, like, I don't know, there's no other
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: job that I want. Like, I don't want to work
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: at anything else. I barely want to work at this,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: to be honest.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: But the idea, this seems like a very, it's an
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: easy job compared to anything else, right? So, and no,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: you don't have to have an alarm in the morning
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: if you're doing this, which is like the dream.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the biggest plus.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't have an alarm in the morning is kind
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: of what I'm working towards right.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Now, so. Yeah, like someone asked me, what time do
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you wake up? I go, I don't know.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fucking awesome. That's so cool.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It's so funny that you're saying about like the bombing
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: thing too. And they tell you, because I always tell
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: people too, like the comics, I was like, hey, don't
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: ever tell them how long you've been doing it. So
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that guy kind of fucked you from the beginning. Because
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: they don't know you from, people, they like comedy, but
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they're not into comedy. So they don't know that you
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: haven't been doing it for 17 years or for three years.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: They also say don't tell them, like, you have a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: day job. I think that's a thing that people have
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: talked about.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't– I mean, I have a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: day job, so I got to do– I got to
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: be honest with these folks. This is what I'm doing, guys.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right. Yeah.
• 11:52

  Speaker 2: illusion of, like, show business and stuff, but you got
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: to– I'm a regular guy still. Like, I'm a dude. Yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: He's like, so I'm just going to let you guys
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: know everything in honesty and all that.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And also, if you are honest with them– they'll they

  Speaker 2: every time i'll be like nope not yet but it
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: works it does work yeah i.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Even do it to myself i'm like uh i go
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: yeah because i just got recently i'm married and i
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: was like hey man uh Now that I've been married,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I found that rings are expensive. And I go, so
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I sell shirts now at the end of the show.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, if you don't buy it because you
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: don't like the shirt, just buy it for love.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But now you can do for like the next 15,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: 20 years and be like, I just got married. Don't
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: tell them the real thing. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no. And then it's also funny, too, because like,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: especially with the bombing thing, too, like when I ate shit,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I was 16 and a teacher snuck me
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: into an open mic.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's cool.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And he was like, and I ate shit because he
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: was hella happy that I ate shit too because I was,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the reason why I went to the open mic is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I was disrupting the class.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And he's like, you think you're funny? And I go,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I'm fucking hilarious, bro. And he was like, you think
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you could do that at an open mic? I was like,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I killed 32 kids right now. I can do six drunks.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I said, I ate shit. So I went and I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: ate shit and he goes, and then I go, hey man,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I want to come back. And he was like, really, why?
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, because I, I figured something out.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: He goes, like, because you didn't do well at all.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I go, I know, I know. But I figured something out.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And he goes, what'd you figure out? And I go,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: because like I said, same thing. I went up with just, like,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I could fucking, God given, I could just, and he goes,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I go, I told him, I go, that in real life,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: people are going to laugh for two reasons. I just
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: realized this, that it's either one. Because they think you're
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: funny or two to get you to shut the fuck up. Right.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: And I just got to figure out which laugh I'm
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: getting when I'm getting it. Yeah, exactly. And so for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the next week before I had to go back up,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that's all I was doing was just talking to people.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: And you can tell when someone's laughing, they're kind of like, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And then you can tell when someone's like, fuck, that's fun.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, keeping that, keeping this, throwing
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that away, stop talking. And then it also helped me
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: develop more self-awareness. Right. Because that's what I feel like.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: kind of lacks in the open mic scene sometimes like
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you see an open mic and it's like hey you
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: know they come off they're like oh that's great and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: i was like i don't think you've seen the same.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah you don't know what you look like dude that's
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the crazy part to me is like you don't see
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the how you look or whatever like you gotta know
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: like that that's the thing like that's one of the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: first kind of jokes you figure out is like make
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: fun of how you look or like say oh i
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: know how i look and then if you get that
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: right that's like a everyone knows, you know, what, what
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you're bringing to the table.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Step one.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like I'm, uh, again, probably shouldn't say this.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I'm 39.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Yeah. So I talk about, I do not,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I look like a child. So that's, and like, it
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: gets big laughs. So it works.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I would have never, I would have never guessed. Right.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, right on. Congrats, man. No grain, your goatee.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I'm jealous. That's, that's what's up, man. But, um, especially
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: being like I don't know I feel that people that
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: are in their late 30s and you know 40s it's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that's I feel like that's where that's where you really
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: hone it in and funny is like you can you
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: can make anything funny.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Right and I also think like that's you know even
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: if not comedians that's kind of the time when you're
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: like the most secure in yourself and stuff like that
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: so like I don't really care I'm even like if
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I'm at the point where silence I don't care about
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: anymore like I've done it I've dealt with it I've
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: i the worst bombs i've had uh that's another thing
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: about like why you start why you keep going after
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: that bomb is like oh i'm still alive you know
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: i'm still here this if that's the worst that can
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: happen i'm i'm fine and i get sometimes paid for
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: this i don't care like yeah yeah it's.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: The best yeah it is it really i was talking
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: i was saying the same thing earlier um about how
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: this is the best job. Even when it's on its
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: bad day, it's still the best job.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Because I'm like, I don't have to go and see
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Peter's stupid-ass face every Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I don't have to lift a 50-pound bag of something. Yeah,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get to save my back.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, exactly.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be one of those 56-year-olds with a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: good back.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. That's not bad.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. And you started here?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: In Detroit, yeah. Okay, born and raised?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yes. Okay, right on, right on. Whereabouts from? I'm so
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: new to this area. This is my first time here. Okay.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And it's pretty dope. Yeah, yeah. I'm so... I was like, oh, shit.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I'm from a suburb of Detroit called Farmgate Hills. It's
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: about 15 minutes from here.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what's up. Yeah. And then so...
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And then you... Wait. So you were telling me the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: first time you went up, you said, okay, so you
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: were like, I'm going to... Resolution, right?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: New Year's resolution. Yeah, yeah.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Boom. And then... And then... So you started getting more
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and more into the scene because it was a big
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: scene here at that time.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, kind of. There was a lot of
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: people who are.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Doing.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I remember. I don't know if you saw the Netflix,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the funniest, funny AF like the.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, the new thing. Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Ron Taylor. He was at the first open mic I
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: ever went to. OK, OK. He was I think he
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: might have been hosting the show. But, like, there was
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of comics here that were around my age
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: that I thought were funny guys and that I've gone
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: on to do pretty decent. Yeah, Josh Adams was around.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Zach Stein, he works at the comedy store right now.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Brad Wenzel. Like, a lot of those guys. So it
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: was a good scene. And then when I came in,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the people who were around me started doing, like, independent
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: shows a lot, which weren't... There weren't a lot of
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: them around, so... There was about like six or eight
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: of us that started our own showcases and stuff. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: that kind of helped bring up around like a lot
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: more comics. And it was just like it was a
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: cool opportunity. I got to give people 20 bucks. You know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: that was nice to do, especially as like a new comic.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: It helps to have a thing to give people an
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: opportunity and stage time. Uh, so yeah, uh, it was,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it was a fun scene. Yeah, it still is. But yeah.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's dope, man. Like I, uh, I was like,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I always say to, I always tell people, I was like,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: if you want to be a better comic, I was
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: like produce shows.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, for one, it makes you, it makes
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you a better comic. Then it makes your scene better.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And then it's like sharpens the knife and the tools.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Cause like, you know, you don't want to be the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: best person in your scene. You want to, you know,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of them.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Right. You want people to, who, uh, just like competitiveness
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: you want to yeah but it's like i.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Don't know because like i got lucky on with my
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: with because i'm i started in sacramento you know small
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: in small small cities and stuff like that and you
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: know san francisco's down the way and and whatever whatnot
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: but like when i was there um it was uh
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: uh like uh first of the city is super eclectic
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: like so it's like You're going to get a hodgepodge
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of every kind of like political view and all that
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: stuff all in like this one city.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Wait, you said what city? I'm sorry.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Sacramento. Okay. And so there were open mics every night
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and crowds would be there. So it wasn't just comics
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: watching comics. And it was competitive, but it was camaraderie competitive.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: So it's like we all were like, you know, if
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: someone got off, they're like, Best set of the night. Yeah.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: You got the best set of the night, dude. Fuck,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: all right, okay, I got to either beat you or
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you got the best set still.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: It's like, okay, cool. And then the great thing about
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that was it's like even if you did have the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: best set of the night, it's like, dude, but for
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: real seriously, on this one part, you should stop because
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you can have two laughs instead of one. It was
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: still like helping each other out.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly. That's cool. That's always good. And like, yeah,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of healthy conversations. you don't want to and
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I do think there's a lot of people that you
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: when somebody's doing a different thing than you you're like
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: well I can't do that so I'm not I'm not
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: like jealous of that you know like a one liner
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: guy or like I'm not a one liner guy but
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I look at one liner guys and I'm like that's
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: an amazing thing to be able to do And it's
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: so funny. But like we're doing different genres of comedy.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: So I'm not like indirect competition with you. I like you.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Great point. I was talking about this earlier, too, is
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: like I like like I can't do dark comedy. Yeah.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate it. Right. And I like that. I
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: can't do it a little bit because I'm like I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: get to be entertained by stand ups in some way still. Right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: After you see how the sausage is made, you're like, oh, fuck.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I know what this guy's doing.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: See all the matter. And it's like I could see
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: all the. The psychological tricks this person is doing to
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: get over the room. He's not becoming a better there.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: He or she is not becoming a better comic. They're
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: just getting better at figuring out how to get by. Right.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, I was like, no, I
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: was just going to say, yeah, like my the my
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the favorite stuff that I have to watch. Like I
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: like watching is the stuff where I'm like, I can't
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: do that or I don't, you know, are like, that's not.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: something I could, like, I would do or could do
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: or any, like, whatever's the more different from, like, my style, that's, like,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: my favorite shit to actually watch, you know what I mean?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Or even, like, you said, too, like, a healthy competition, too. Like,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: if you see a comic and just kind of doing
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the same thing you're doing, but then you're like, oh,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I don't do that. Yeah, right. Like, man, I got
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to go home and write.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Or I got to figure out how to become a
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: better version of me, you know, so I can, you know, da-da-da-da.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: That was the thing, too. Like, I think that's where
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: you learn, too, where it's like, You don't want to
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: be a better version of that comic. You want to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: be a better version of the comic that you are.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Right, because really that's the only way to set yourself
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: apart is be as much yourself as you can because
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: no one else can do that, obviously. So what else
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: are you going to... Obviously, you start out, you're copying
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, right? You're relating your idols. Yeah,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and usually it's the big names or whoever you find
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the most funny and stuff.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Your influences.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Right, but then as you get older, do it more
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and more, you get comfortable in yourself. You're like, well,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the only thing I can really do to set myself
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: apart from everybody else, just, you know, be as close
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to myself, you know, as possible.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I was going to say too, you were talking about
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: how like, uh, next time you want to prepared with,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: with stuff, like, do you, is that how you still
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: do it today? Do you still like, you know, um,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: like really prepare and then go up with stuff?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Uh, like I, um, uh, I have like a set list,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I would say, you know, And I've never been one
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to actually write out like word for word stuff. I've
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: never done that. Closest I've had is like bullet points
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: for like a joke. Like I'll have, this is what
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the main thing is and these are the beats I
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: got to hit kind of thing.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: And then once I get that initial structure down, then
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of, now I'm getting comfortable enough to where
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I can riff within that thing. Kind of bounce off
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the audience. And like, if I know I have a
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: good punchline, then once I get there, now I can
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: just go, you know, yeah, you have off of that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, all right, cool. It's so funny. Cause like
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: same way, same way. Like, like this is, I have
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it on, like there's one set list. Right. And it's like,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: You know, they're bullet points. They're like, they're all, what
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: do you call it? You got the same thing?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I think I got one right there.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. For real.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, that's like a newer thing that I just did.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: So I have, like, you know, the main topic and
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: then little points I want to hit.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, little dashes. It's like, oh, okay.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: This is a new set list, too. So it's like,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I'll check. This is like, if I want to check
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the time of the old thing. And each one of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: those bullet points is like five minutes. Right. Five minutes
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: of whatever the fuck.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: But then I hear about comics who have, like... word-for-word
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: their sets. And that's impressive to me. Like, I can't
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: do that. I don't... Yeah. Because, like, a large part
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: of it is I don't want to sound like I'm
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: reading a script.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to tape record it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right? And, like, that is a thing I'm a
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: little struggling with now is that I have, like, a set, like,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: that I know is good, but I don't want to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: get stuck in that because then I'll just be... I
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: don't want to be robotic with it, you know what
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I mean? I don't want to be just reciting... for me,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I want to keep falling in love with it. Right, yeah.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: So sometimes at one night, it might have a different
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: feel to it because of how my, and it's like, oh,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: now I like it again. Yeah. And now that I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: like it again, I could add this onto it. Matter
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of fact, I can riff more and I found, because
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you can always go back to that, well, that's why
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: with comedy, like the stand-up science of it all, it's like, dude,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: it's never really done, but it's so much fun to
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: see where it mutates into because you become a better
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: writer or you become more insightful and then that that
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: one joke that was a dick joke actually doesn't even
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: turn into– it grows out of– no pun intended. It
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: grows out of being a dick joke into something actually–
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: something else. And you're like, oh, as a matter of fact,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I can kill the dick part off because this other
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: stuff is way better.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah. Or you have a big– it's like
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: doing a carving out of granite or whatever. You know
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: what I mean? So you're like chipping away at stuff,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: and maybe it starts out as a big, long, two-minute thing,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: but then it ends up just being one– one line
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: in your, a bigger thing, but you found the gold
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: in all, you mined the gold of the, the one
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: thought that you had, but then eventually, like, you do
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: that enough times, you have a big chunk of material
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: that kind of works.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I'm getting excited talking about, at least, it's all about
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: your dick jokes, long growing, getting excited, no, but, yeah, yeah, I,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: because I, I like, like, once you start talking about the,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the whole, I mean, let alone the process, but then, like,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: when you do find those things or when something happens
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and that feeling, that rush, it's like, oh, there it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, so you can keep going back
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to the book.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And especially now, when you get something that you are
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: pretty sure no one else has, that's, like, the hardest
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: thing now is because so many people are doing it
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: and putting it out.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: So I've almost had to stop watching stand-up.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Because I don't want to, like... Through osmosis. Yeah, like,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: accidentally take something or whatever. Like, so, but when you
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: get a thing that is distinct and original and, like,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: no one else can really do it, that's, like, the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: best feeling.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It's so funny that you say that, too, because, like,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I stopped listening to comics podcasts.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: And like all that stuff. Cause it's like, I don't
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: want to be influenced. I don't want to have osmosis.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, yo, I already know what, how I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: want to be funny or how I like. So I'm
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: trying to do that.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And then on top of that too, like, let's say
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I do hear a small thing and I'm like, well,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I have something like that. Now I'm going to throw
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: away cause someone else, but it's like, if, if, but
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: if I don't listen or see, hear that and I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: continue on doing mine, it'll, it, it, it will be
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: worked out and changed to it. It's not even remnants
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Right. And if someone tells me, Hey, somebody else is
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: doing that, I'll be like, all right, I got to
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: do something. It's not, I have to believe in myself
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: enough that I could have something else. I can write
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: something different. Yeah. Like, all right, then I got to
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: do figure it out. I can't be too precious with
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: it where I'm like, no, but this is my thing. Like,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: all right, well, if someone else is doing it, I'll
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: think of something else.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But sometimes it's not even like, like, that's the
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: thing that I feel like people are starting to get
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: misconstrued is like, um, yeah, it's the same topic, but
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: it's not the same thing. Like it's, it's two trains
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: going down the same line and then they all split off.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, everyone's allowed to talk about relationships or dating,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Or dating or whatever. Getting married.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Having kids. Everyone, because those, especially like, You want to–
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: there is some level you want to relate to the audience.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: And really there's like, what, five things that everyone is doing.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: We're all like shitting and jerking off and having sex.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: What is there, six chords to every song?
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: But you just want to make sure that your take
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: on it is different or like you got a different
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: spin on the way that– or even just like the
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: way you write and structure the joke is different than
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: other people.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know? Yeah, I like that. I like that
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a lot. Oh, that's right. We've got to get to
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the questions. All right. So this is the trivia. Boom, boom, boom.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And let me see. Okay, so that was the get-to-know portion,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and this is the good-to-know portion. We'll just do some
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: trivia really quick just to change it up so it's
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: not always a comic-on-comic podcast like every fucking thing is now.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: So here we go. Let's see. Let's see. Cause we're
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: going to, we, we, we asked other comics to some
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of these, some of these questions. So let's see where you, you,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: you add up to, which is so funny. Cause it's like,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I noticed this like lately, like not a lot of comics, like,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: like trivia, but we know about so much odd shit.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: So it's funny. Like why would, okay. I'm sorry.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Why are they people not doing good in the trivia
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: so far?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's like, yeah, like, uh, three questions, right.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Or four questions, right. Cause it's a plethora of like
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: a pulpit of over the place.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: But, um, I remember, I think if you're, if, especially
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: if you're new, maybe you are only, you're so focused
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: on comedy. Cause I remember I was a big sports fan.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: And when I started doing comedy, I kind of like,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: cause I'm out at night all the time. So I
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: just kind of stopped watching like games and stuff.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I don't need like, uh, When I first started doing
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the open mics, I was like, I don't know anything
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: about The Office or Lost. Yeah, yeah. I'm actually on.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I'm out at 8 o'clock at night. So, yeah, I'm
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: not watching that.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: So, here we go. So, first question is, what does
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the IP in media stand for?
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Intellectual property.

• 29:48
  Speaker 2: like the serious, you know.

• 29:57
  Speaker 1: a movie called What Dreams May Come that he's in.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: It's fucking really good.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen that, but that's one
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I should watch that one.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, you should check that. Okay, what type of race

• 30:17
  Speaker 1: about it. My dad hit me up the other day
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: because I'm an A's fan, and there was a no-hitter
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: going into the ninth inning. My dad texted me, hey,

• 30:26
  Speaker 2: They're moving to Vegas, right? Yeah, they're moving to Vegas.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: It's funny because they're in Oakland. I had season tickets.

  Speaker 1: I would go to Oakland all the time, and then
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: they moved to Sacramento, my hometown, but I'm not there.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: But now they're going to move to Vegas.
• 30:37

• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Probably McDonald's.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Probably McDonald's?
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: I think the thing that McDonald's has over the, is
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: they're most consistent, right? Because that's like the thing, because
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: everything's location-based. McDonald's, I feel like, Most of the time
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: you can get pretty much the same quality. Taste everywhere.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like I'm in Japan and the

  Speaker 2: medicine like earlier. That's crazy.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:05
